Ingredients
Instructions
- Saute shrimp in butter in a frying pan for 8 minutes.
- Add remaining ingredients and cook for another 8 minutes.
- Serve over cooked white rice.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding minced garlic or a squeeze of lemon juice to the shrimp as they cook. If you don't have white wine, chicken broth can be a good substitute. Fresh basil can enhance the dish further, but dried basil works fine if that's what you have. For a different twist, try adding a dash of hot sauce for some heat.
Serving Suggestions
This shrimp dish is best served over a bed of fluffy white rice, which absorbs the delicious sauce. For a complete meal, consider pairing it with steamed vegetables like broccoli or a fresh salad. It also pairs beautifully with the Broccoli And Crab Bisque for a seafood-themed dinner.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, gently warm in a skillet over low heat, adding a splash of water or broth to prevent drying out. Avoid microwaving, as it can make the shrimp rubbery.
